ow man! At least I think that is the right expression (I have to admit that the sixties and Rock and Roll passed the Hawk by). If this mighty Renault Magnum passes you by, you'll certainly know it, painted in this striking shade of deep purple. You RockâWe Roll gives the game away: who else could it be but Edwin Shirley Trucking. This truck is owned by David Wilson; he picked the Standex aluminised special effect paint to match the company's livery. Edwin Shirley, of course, is responsible for transporting rock groups to their venues. The rig features twin beds, a wardrobe, refrigerator, TV and video. Quite a change from the sixties when, understand, people called roadies, together with band members, lived out of the back of a transit for six months without so much as a change of socks between them.
